My first Rilke's work to read was this and I actually loved the first few letters so so so much. The ideas and the offices he had for his correspondant were totally magical writing pieces. However I would have preferred to see Mr. Kappus' replies to these letters as well. It would have given it easier for me to understand the context of the corresponding letter Rilke was writing. Towards the 7th letter I kind of lost the pace but overall this has been a great read!
